    2 possibly dumb questions: 1. Do you have an active internet connection? and 2. Have you already installed updates, other software or at least run sudo apt update?

I had the same problem. Software & Updates > Ubuntu software > check 'Proprietary drivers for devices' option. Then update from gui or sudo apt update

  • Regarding WSL, I've tried it using sudo apt install nvidia-driver-455 to update via CLI, but still. had no luck. I had to revert to dual booting to Ubuntu.

  • For WSL, there is a completely differ approach. WSL, being hosted under windows, uses the windows driver. CUDA can be set up to work in WSL using this tutorial on the Ubuntu website.

This is an old question, but the most likely cause is that you don't have the restricted repository enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list. All the proprietary drivers are there.
